DK Bicycles (1979–2015)

Started by a racers dad, who made him a stem that was stronger.
Bill Danisk from Dayton Ohio kept breaking stems, so his dad,
Charlie, and engineer from GM made him one that could hold up to the
abuse. Soon other riders saw it, and wanted one, thus the company was
born.
This company has always made quality stuff, their bikes are no exception.

DK Bicycles started out as DK back in the day. Way back when BMX Bikes
had shafted stems - goosenecks actually. It's the typical Father/son BMX
story. Charles Danishek was a machinist and started making stems for
his kids and their friends when theirs were breaking.

Eventually
DK was making alot of stems, in fact they were some of the strongest,
and best selling stems on the market. As DK grew and started making more
parts, they also formed a distribution company to help other BMX
companies get their products out there.

In the late 90's DK
rolled the dice and jumped into the BMX frame market BIGTIME. This lead
to a full line of complete BMX bikes.

Today DK is one of the
largest BMX bike companies as well as one the largest BMX distributors
in the industry.

Dk stood for Dad & Kid or The name DK was derived from 2 initials from the founders last name - Danishek
